What a surprise that Israelis are trying to break the agreement hours after they announced it!
- Totally. This must be the first time ever they did something like that :-|
- Firstly, your point is?
  Secondly, you are lying. Truce was widely reported by all parties, staring with US. Unless you are saying Trump is a member of Hamas now.
In one of the articles doing the rounds for this 'ceasefire' last night, the title was all about this "ceasefire agreement being reached", then in the post under the article the person wrote "the office of Netanyahu has not yet finalized things on their end". So clearly people have different definitions of "an agreement being reached", like Windows Update and the concept of "100% complete".
- I think they agreed in principle but the actual vote is thurs.
  
  Israel can do a little bit more genocide until the paperwork is signed, as a treat
  
  And it would take effect on Sunday.
- They had a few details to iron out and it is supposed to be done and signed today.
What the fuck is wrong with Israeli leaders?
- Do you want a top 3 or a full list?
  If the latter, we could be here for days.....
  
  might be easier to say what isn't wrong with them.
- They're following a very simple doctrine. You give the people an enemy, real or even created out of whole cloth, and then you fight them. People rally around the leaders and they get money, votes, power and adoration thrown at them. The requirement is a complete lack of morality and a maxed out hunger for power.
  
  Bonus points if it’s tied to religious doctrine
- I'm pretty sure it's fascism.
To the surprise of absolutely nobody.
They just can't help themselves, can they?
Who is really looking more like the terrorists here? Israel or Hamas?
I think the ceasefire was agreed to start on Sunday.
- Exactly. They have to get as much killing in as possible before time runs out.
